Incredible experience
There was a good mix of dive sites (reefs, sharks, wrecks), with flexibility to see different ones, depending on weather conditions. The crew was very good at their job. The dive masters were clearly well trained, and knew the dive sites and local sea life in-and-out. The captain is also an excellent cook. We never had the same dish twice, and the food was all creative, and just what you need after a day of multiple dives. The crew were quite friendly, and made us feel at home during the whole trip. The catamaran is a great boat to dive from. It is spacious, provides a stable platform, and offers easy entry and exit from the water.

We had a great crew and amazing diving.
The conditioners were rough and windy, but the experience underwater was still exceptional with good visibility and tons of sea life. I love the Exuma dives where the reefs were abundant with corals, fans, etc. the food was great—three hot, delicious meals a day.

- We had a fun group of people from all over the world. The diving was great with tons of sharks, ship wreaks, and variety. The crew was committed to making it a great trip from beginning to end.

The Phoenix is Best liveaboard
We explored dive sites that were not visited by the other liveaboard vessels. We particularly enjoyed the Shark Arena, diving the James Bond boat, the Dog Wall, and the double dive in the Blue Hole.

- 1. A divemaster accompanied every dive and let us determine the length of the dives. 2. Accommodated our dietary requirements with no problems. 3. Friendly, welcoming crew was eager to provide the best experience possible.

An honest opinion - I’m glad I picked the Phoenix
Wreck dives were good Overall itinerary was well laid out Guest preferences were integrated into daily schedules The captain if a great chef and meals were good Blue hole dive was really nice Dive guides were good, safety oriented, patient with divers quirks, and adjusted dive profile to satisfy customers skills. Dive guides made life easy by helping water entry/exit and tanks changes if desired. The boat has a good design, cabins nice, better setup in the larger dive boat operators in my opinion. I recommended minor changes to the Phoenix and they listened, so your trip might be even better than mine. On Bahamas diving, wave and sea conditions are milder compared to Caribbean locations, bring sun protection, hats etc. Water temperature at my time was swim suite diving. Liveaboard.com was a good place to book the trip, their agents communicated well, and I’d give them 5 stars also..

TOP Tauchsafari + TOP Boot
My best safari and dive holiday the past years ( 280 logged dives)The catamaran is super comfy and familiar, u feel like at home after short time.the cabines are nice and clean,Oleg the captain is a excellent chef, the food was super nice during the whole stay. and it was really a familiar cosy atmosphere during the whole stay.the boat has a special flair and its a really special dive safari experience ( not to compare to other dive boats as its small and very private feeling here) its all super individual, the diving is super comfy - straight from the room into water. from the back with 2 entrance with a giant step.Simon the dive instructor was super professional dive guide, we had 17 wonderful dives and i can just recommend to dive with this guy.swiss at its best.we got luck with visibility and the UW world in bahamas is really intact and colorful. Bahamas is my new maldives.We had wonderful sailings in-between nassau-exumas and spend super nice evening up at the starboard, i will never forget this trip and hope to come back soonto Bahamas!
